I’ve updated the code to use VssAccountName instead of “DefaultCollection” and I’m getting the following error calling AddMemberToGroupAsync:

I had updated other versions of this to point to a newer one, but somehow I missed this one. I’ve added a pointer to a newer version. Hatteras was the code name for Team Foundation Version Control while it was under development fro the first release (TFS 2005). We renamed the DLLs before we shipped TFS 2005.

I was close to pulling my hair out, when I read your solution, tried it, and my pc is now running anniversary update 1607 ( updating from W10 1511 NOT from W7) ‘happily’. One scary moment when Free MiniTool Partition Wizard told me I had to introduce the recovery or original OS disks (W10 OEM installed – no disks..), but hitting OK again rebooted my pc, the update downloaded, installed and runs well ! Thanks again !

Do you just check for this in the TestInitialize method to do Assert.Inconclusive ?
Or did you do more internal modification ?

Wed, 05 Oct 2016 09:35:24 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/buckh/?p=9145#comment-31675Excellent post. Thanks for sharing how VSTS team uses feature toggles.

One of the challenges we often face in this approach is how to deal with schema changes, where the format of the table e.g. is modified. or the message format is modified. Would be really interesting if you could shed some light on it.

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:08:39 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/buckh/?p=9145#comment-31635Erik, it depends on the situation and how much you are willing to invest in it. One of the largest changes we’ve done this way was with Work Item Tracking. WIT originally used a wide schema where every new field in a work item process meant a new column in the tables that store work items. That’s a problem at scale since the number of columns is limited to 1024. We changed that to a long schema where each field becomes a row instead. When we rolled that out, we actually ran both the old and the new in parallel. For accounts where we turned on the new one, we used jobs to backfill the new tables with the existing data and installed triggers to keep it up to date. Then we were able to use both at the same time (for example, write to both schemas and measure performance of the new one). We could switch accounts to the new schema and switch back if we had to. If it sounds like a lot of work, it was. However, we were rewarded by having that roll out go very smoothly as a result. While this was one of our bigger changes, there’s always some amount of extra work that’s required if the DB schema is also changing.

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 19:41:09 +0000https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/buckh/?p=9145#comment-31625One thing about feature flags that has always confused me is this. How exactly do you implement both features if the feature requires database changes? Let’s say the feature requires changing the primary key of table from a string to an int? Or maybe it requires a whole bunch of new lookup table data? How would you be able to just “turn off and on” something like this? I ask because it seems 90+% of features I’ve worked on fall into this category.

There will not be any policy warnings if the last vNext build failed for now. The build check in policy has been very useful to remind people last CI build was failed, do you know if any plan to have this available for vNext build? Or as I know, usually TFS client API is not work with vNext build. Could we use this API for vNext build by creating customize check in policy?
